Watched the doc about last night. Very well done, compelling stuff—everything a crime documentary should be.

One thing that I think it whiffed a little on, though, was how many people in the finance industry *knew* Madoff was dirty, long before he got arrested.

I worked in finance, in a large bank that was a landing place for people getting out of the Street I-banks, right through the worst part of the 2007/08 financial crisis and the Madoff arrest.

Pretty much anyone who had come from Wall Street knew who Madoff was, knew he had a hedge fund, and that it was sketchy.

Where people seemed to differ was in what *way* they thought it was sketchy. I don't think most people thought it was a straight-up Ponzi—it had been around too long, and conventional wisdom was that "Ponzis don't survive market downturns" (e.g. the Dot-com crash).

Recommandé : la série télé documentaire « , le monstre de la finance » (sur Netflix). Tout ce qu'il faut savoir sur cette gigantesque escroquerie qui a duré des dizaines d'années, et pour laquelle Madoff a bénéficié de l'aide de pas mal de gens qui, eux, n'ont pas fini en prison.
Très pédagogique et détaillé. Évidemment pour une série Netflix, l'accent est mis sur le rôle des individus plus que sur celui du système.

Here is more Culture Club for your pleasure…

Netflix’s docuseries Madoff: The Monster Of Wall Street left panelist Karissa gob smacked. The riveting four-part documentary explains how Madoff got away with what he did for so long… and what happened when it all came crashing down.

Watched on last night, I knew most of the story of course, but it’s MINDBLOWING that he got away with it as long as he did.

I could’ve never slept a wink had I built my whole life on a lie, knowing full well it was only a matter of time before it all came tumbling down, but then again, I’m not a sociopath, at least…I don’t think I am 😉

: the Monster of Wall Street. “Everybody said:”Why would Bernie Madoff commit the largest fraud in history?” “ Madoff answers:” You have to understand one thing. The one thing every one of them was - which is everybody in the industry- they’re greedy”

Also watched the first episode of on . He decided he'd rather be a liar than a failure. Bad choice right there. There is NO shame in failing.

This happens when you rely on centralized entities controlling all your money, these monsters create themselves and are pampered in this system as long as they are useful to whomever benefits from them

RT @ElSchumi@twitter.com

Watch Madoff on Netflix to understand how the SEC, WallStreet and JPMorgan operated: netflix.com/us/title/81466159?

This Madoff doc (which has way too many re-creations for my taste) definitely doesn’t show the SEC in a good light. And it puts the media under the spotlight too. Watch it if you can.
